Ok, could the 9 who said "yes, it happens to me" please share?
I voted "no, it never happens to me", but it did happen once in my life. However, it's crept down once, crept up 200 times or so, so the crept up won. It happened the spring of my sophomore year in college. I was taking a heavy courseload that included organic chemistry. Unless you're the one person who actually gets organic chemistry out of each class of 100 students or so (if you are, I don't want to talk to you
), have ever met a bio student etc. you know orgo is the class from H-E- double hockey sticks. Between the orgo, the rest of my classes, my 20-hour-a-week work study job, and my a cappella group I barely stressed out. I didn't have free time, I just studied orgo. I would eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner but just hardly ate snacks b/c I was always on the go or sitting in the library. I walked all over campus but didn't exercise other than that. I also almost gave myself a mental breakdown.
If that's what it takes to get my weight to "creep" down without thinking about it, no, thank you. It's never happened since, but I've also had no more near mental breakdowns, so all in all I'll take that trade. The creep up is really the result of an extra treat here, glass of wine there, etc. - just too many treats and extra bits of food.
